Research work in the center is directed in the major directions concerned with the advanced materials, high-temperature corrosion of metals, new type of deformable cast iron, high-purity metals, welding/soldering technology for incompatible pairs (e.g. metal-ceramics), Ti-Al single-phase intermetallides; doping of high-temperature superconductors, radiation-resistant insulator films on the surface of semiconductors, composites, shock-resistant light ceramics, crack initiation and propagation, share-like phase transformations, Synthetic zeolites software for crystallographic analysis of electron diffraction data obtained from single, two-phase and the twinned crystalline samples.
One group of researchers is involved in designing of the material for hard filters and ultra filters produced from the local minerals. The filters can be used for refining of technical and food oils, wine, beer, juice, water and other liquids. The group has also developed the composition and technology of manufacturing the new nonasbestos compound material for brakes and friction transmissions.

Structure of sorption hysteresis for vaporous sorbates.
Acid- and alkali-insoluble (at room temperature), colored powders of clays.
New version of periodic table with extrapolated structures of electron shells and corresponding orbital radiuses for hypothetical elements was created based on structure of electron shell taking into consideration the regularity of alteration of binding energy of nucleons in atomic nucleus. The hypothetical, 170th element of the table is taken as a margin for existence of matter in form of chemical substance (author - A.Tivadze)
